A Bewitched Bride Enters a Household
Yami Gautam is poised for an unexpected return to the big screen with Naai Naveli. The freshly dropped trailer fuses tension, wit, magical realism and a burst of adrenaline‑filled set‑pieces, signalling a tone that veers far from her past projects.
The teaser opens with a traditional Mumbai wedding, after which the freshly‑wed heroine steps into her husband’s family home. Initially welcomed like any ordinary daughter‑in‑law, the atmosphere shatters when a relative boldly declares that she is not human but a witch.
Although the claim is quickly dismissed, the trailer hints at a cascade of bizarre events—subtle supernatural cues, fleeting references to Ravana’s legend, rapid‑fire action clips, and eerie family banter—all of which tease a deeper secret behind the enigmatic Mohini.
Yami Gautam Becomes Mohini
In the film, Gautam embodies Mohini, a presence that upends the routine of a typical Meerut household. Her arrival triggers a chain reaction of humor and mystery, reshaping the family’s everyday rhythm. Compared with earlier roles, Mohini is a more complex, off‑beat character, giving Gautam a fresh palette to showcase her versatility.
Behind the Scenes and Release Details
Naai Naveli is directed by Balaji Mohan, with a story penned by Himanshu Sharma and Divya Nidhi Sharma. Producers Aanand L. Rai and Himanshu Sharma are backing the venture, while the music is scored by G. V. Prakash Kumar.
The picture is scheduled to hit cinemas on 16 October 2026. The trailer’s blend of mystery, comedy and action has already generated considerable buzz, raising expectations for its theatrical launch.
